Did you take it with an iPhone?
Does it really matter since they dont use that photo anyway?

Not an actual "iphone", but an Android phone. Can you not take them with a phone camera? I would assume that they would use it. Obviously I've aged since my last picture.

You can take with a smartphone. Some older iPhones had a rotational issue with photos which is why I asked.

A quick search shows people submitting sidewdays photos who received their license with no issue.

I did take it with a smartphone. I don't understand why it is flipping sideways when I upload it. Something in the ISP website is flipping the picture. I guess I'll have to call the ISP on Monday and ask if it matters.

They just use that photo to make sure you are who you say you are then use the picture on your new high tech drivers license.

The photo on my drivers license is like 8 years old, because I've been able to renew it by mail. I don't look anything like that pic. I'm 8 years older, my hair was long back then and I had a beard. Why would they not update your photo??

Sorry I figured by now everyone would have the new drivers license.

I do have the new one. The one with the hologram thing. But when I renewed by mail the last time, they didn't require a new photo. It expires next May, and I'm sure I'll have to go to the DMV to renew it this time.

After all that fuss of getting my picture to load properly for my FOID renewal, they didn't use it and are STILL using a 20 year old photo. Why???

afaik, they don't use the submitted photo. They use the photo taken with your drivers license and stored in the state system database. Basically they use the submitted photo to make sure it is same person. I guess they figured you still looked enough like the old photo.

I guess I should take that as a compliment then. I haven't aged so badly in the last 20 years that I'm unrecognizable.
